Product Description

Silent Hill HD Collection combines two classic spine-chilling Silent Hill titles from the past and brings them to the PlayStation 3 for the first time ever. Introducing Silent Hill 2 Restless Dreams and Silent Hill 3 with enhancements including true high-definition graphics, this offering gives new fans and old fans the opportunity to experience the early era of Silent Hill as a true genre-defining experience with the added value of two games.

Silent Hill 2 Restless Dreams follows the sad story of James Sunderland as he woefully enters the sleepy town by a mysterious letter from his deceased wife. Seeking the chance to see her again beckoned by guilt and remorse, he stumbles upon his these fears manifested through unseen evil and ominous characters leading him to the asylum of another world. The fight against the truth that his wife has died, James must escape the lumbering demon Red Pyramid (a.k.a Pyramid Head) along with his mystified fears that have taken the form of living monsters within the haze that is Silent Hill.

Serving as a sequel to the original Silent Hill game, Silent Hill 3 centers on the forces of the demonic cult that spreads the insanity of the otherworld through Claudia, a cult member attempting to bring Harry Mason's daughter, Heather, into Silent Hill. With a subplot and themes involving the loss of innocence and childhood, a web of intrigue is spun by Claudia with intentions to birth a new god.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

Alot of reviews complaining about graphics here but ignoring the 'fog issues' which don't seem to happen on my version I'm quite enjoying playing the games and given I was in my early teens when the second one originally came out playing through again while actually understanding all the visual imagery used etc is giving me a fresh outlook on the game's story. The hd graphics are better than alot of people seem to be saying but again these are old PS2 games at heart with a bit of gloss.

The controls for both games haven't changed from the originals but they are basically a 'survival horror' style setup so given that the gaming industry doesn't cater to that market anymore some younger people may not enjoy it.

I also have to add that the new voices on Silent hill 3 wind me up quite a bit especially as they are not optional as in SH2 but if you've never played the original version you'll probably not care.

There are enough reviews on here listing the problems with the HD port (represnting the fun rating) so instead I'll focus on the games themselves as opposed to the technical issues; which do unfortunately affect the gameplay experience.

Silent Hill 2 redefined what horror video games were, prior to it's release Resident Evil sat firmly atop the pile, while fun they were rarely scary, more akin with a homage to cheesy horror films complete with hammy dialouge than an actual frightening experience.

Silent Hill 2 changed all that, there's a reason more than a decade on its still looked back on with such adoration, held as the gold standard. Indeed the six sequels since have never been able to recapture what made Silent Hill 2 so great.

So what is it that makes Silent Hill 2 great? Simply it's the story. You take on the role of James Sunderland who receives a letter from his previously terminally ill, now deceased wife Mary asking him to return to their special place of Silent Hill where she's waiting for him, upon arrival James begins scouring the town but finds it overrun with monsters.

While it sounds like a fairly run of the mill horror scenario it's not, evoking cinematic ques from the likes of David Lynch's darker works or Adrian Lyne's Jacob's ladder, it's an incredibly atmospheric tale that will completely suck you into the oppressive world, loaded with dark, sexual and nihilistic imagery that will leave a lasting impression. Certain scenes in particular as you watch one of the characters walk away from you up a burning staircase as they become slowly enveloped remain haunting even now.Read more ›

Really not as bad as people are making it out to be, trust the creepy over-bearing fans to see the flaws as sacrillege.The PS3 version is the version to play due to not being plagued with a lot of the bugs the Xbox 360 version never got a patch for.

Past the first hour of gameplay I haven't noticed any real issues in Silent Hill 2, and the increased resolution does help make the game more enjoyable.

No other game has ever beaten the feeling I have alwasy recieved from this amazing package. First off I would like to say that the HD collection is fully up and running now with no bugs or anything. It looks awsome, if a little cleaner then the original.

Silent Hill 2, well let me just say you have to play it to actually believe how briliant it is. You wont find another game like it, not even the 1st or the 3rd. The 2nd instalment is scary for sure but its the story that really gets you and has been able to stand the tests of time with fans, it is uneque enough to still be the best after over 10 years. I found the female characters in this game just so amazing. You didnt know what the hell they were going to come out with next. I kind of felt sorry for James because of this. He hasnt a bloody clue whats going on and neither do you.

Besides the lack of informatioj, its what you cant see that really starts to bother you. You can only see roughly a toot infront of you. the rest is either shrouded in pitch blackness or fog. You will hear sounds around you but you wont know where its coming from or if its close to you. Your torch can shine on ceratures that are suddenly right ontop of you or further away, just standing there like stature. I found the manequinns the scariest by far. God those things got under my skin. There is something just so wrong about their design. You will understand when you see them.

The soundtrack will break your heart, give you heart attacks and more then likely send your controller flying across the room. Because you cant see anything the makers really like to mess with your head and throw in sounds just to get youir nerves on edge ALL THE TIME.Read more ›
